I play the flute as you just would not want to hear me sing, I'd rather manipulate my flutes to do my singing for me... the only hurt I've gained from my flute... is a broken tooth cutting my gums and like you I still could not stop under the impression that, that part of my gum would harden and the sharp of my tooth would eventually round off and be less painful...
